Propel is a 100-person tech company for people who receive government benefits. We build software that strengthens the safety net in America and envision a future where every American has the tools and resources they need to thrive.
Are you passionate about connecting great people to meaningful work? Do you thrive in fast-paced, mission-driven environments where you can take ownership of your craft and make a measurable impact?
We’re looking for a mission-driven Senior Recruiter to help us continue to scale thoughtfully and intentionally. You’ll be instrumental in building recruiting programs that attract incredible talent - people who care deeply about both our users’ experiences and our business impact.
In this role, you’ll partner closely with the VP of People and Talent Acquisition Manager to grow our team in ways that reflect our mission, values, and the communities we serve. We already have a system that is working; we need your help to continue to refine and improve it! We’re proud of our hiring system today with a 30 day average time to hire, 55 day average time to fill, 95% candidate satisfaction rating and a 90% offer acceptance rate.
You’ll be joining a close knit People Ops team. Our ideal candidate is a first-principles thinker who knows what great recruiting looks like and isn’t afraid to challenge and recalibrate when needed. You’re confident guiding hiring managers and helping them grow into capable, inclusive hiring leaders. Lastly, you understand that recruiting is the first step in the HR lifecycle - you’re excited about the opportunity to work on People Ops and DEI initiatives when time allows because you deeply care about the employee experience.
At our core, we believe everyone deserves a first-class experience - whether they’re accessing the social safety net, managing their finances, or applying to join our team. We’re committed to delivering that same level of care and excellence to our candidates and employees alike.
We believe that Americans with limited income deserve modern, respectful, and effective experiences around their government benefits and money. Unfortunately, the status quo often fails to treat them as first-class citizens in their daily interactions around the social safety net and financial services. The tech industry hasn’t pulled its weight in solving the problems faced by low-income Americans.
Propel’s mission is to change that. We’ve built Providers, the single most popular app in the country built specifically for low-income Americans. Over 5 million families each month use Providers to seamlessly manage their government benefits (programs like SNAP, commonly known as food stamps), conduct their banking, and save and earn money. Providers has been recognized by the White House, featured on the front page of the New York Times, and carries over 500,000 five-star reviews.
Propel is a for-profit, venture-backed company that holds its social mission at its core. We’re proud to be supported by a blend of nonprofits, impact investors, and world-class investors, including the Robin Hood Foundation, Andreessen Horowitz, Nyca Partners, Financial Health Network, JPMorgan Chase, Kevin Durant, Serena Williams, and Nas.
Join us, and let's build something amazing together!

At Propel, we believe that an environment that is diverse, inclusive, and equitable drives us towards the best product and business decisions that allow us to effectively and consciously serve our mission and our users. As a social enterprise, we also recognize that caring about DEI is quite simply the right thing to do.
The people that use our products are diverse in many ways - gender, age, race, sexual orientation, religion, disability status, and more. We explicitly aim to reflect that with our team composition, though we aren’t there yet. That’s why we are actively working to make sure our job descriptions are inclusive, our sourcing nets are widely cast, and our interview process is equitable and fair to all.
We particularly value those with lived experiences around financial hardship and safety net programs. While people from all backgrounds can contribute to Propel’s mission, we know that those who come from the communities we serve have an incredibly powerful and unique perspective.
Your responses will be used (in aggregate only) to help us identify areas of improvement in our process. Your responses will not be associated with your specific application and will not in any way be used in the hiring decision.
